The full line-up for this year's The Apprentice has been revealed today - and among the contestants is a librarian from Devon.

Lottie Lion, 19, who lives in Dulverton but grew up in North Devon, is one of the youngest contestants in this year's line-up and ahead of the show, which airs next Wednesday she has revealed what it has been like so far.

"I grew up in a small village near Barnstaple where you don't have many opportunities," she said.

"There's not as many employment offers down here and I wanted to get myself out there and make myself known, so I seized the opportunity.

"I actually applied for the show last October so it's actually been almost a year to get to this point."

Lord Sugar took to Twitter on Tuesday to reveal to eager fans that the show will be back on October 2, as the mogul hunts for another business partner.

Sixteen new hopefuls will set out to show him what they are made of, in order to win a £250,000 business investment.

The winner will not only get a cash injection for their business, they will also benefit from Lord Sugar's direct guidance and assistance to make their venture a success.

The series will kick off with a bang as Lord Sugar whisks the business hopefuls away to Cape Town, South Africa and sets them one of the most challenging tasks ever - to create, set up and run bespoke tours on the outskirts of Cape Town.

Under the watchful eye of Baroness Brady and Claude Littner, the contestants will be trying to avoid the dreader 'Youre Fired' in the boardroom.

She believes her poise and her “powers of persuasion” are her greatest business qualities, noting that people with bad manners anger her and that she gets frustrated when things don’t adhere to her high standards.
